This seems awesome and all, but I can't install any of the add-on on my Firefox Beta. The add-on site says I need a newer version of Firefox.

"It has a cool default theme for Gnome, and there's a colored bash prompt."

The "cool default theme" in Fedora is the default Gnome theme. There isn't a "colored bash prompt." Fedora is a major distribution on par with stuff like Arch and Debian, so news about Fedora is news about linux.

Love Fedora, hate Fedora, I couldn't care less. But at least do a little research.

During the initial startup, you're asked if you want to share telemetry. I honestly can't remember if it's default on or off, but you can't miss it.

Which lazy bastards?

Err… no?

As far as I can tell, "hyperpolic" is a typo, and you meant "hyperbolic", which kinda fits, but it would be "contains a hyperbolic statement," rather than "contains hyperbole." It would be less clear, though, since "hyperbolic" can refer to either "hyperbole" or "hyperbola".

Meanwhile hyperbole refers only to a figure of speech and not potentially an open curve with two branches.

Sorry, did I ruin your joke? I ruined your joke didn't I. Man, I just can't stop myself from being a pedantic jackass…

Here's the thing, YouTube. When you first started running ads, I didn't really mind. They were short, there weren't that many, and if they were particularly annoying or repetitive, there was a skip button. I respected that you needed to make money and that you wanted to pay the content creators, and you respected my time.

But then you decided to flood the fucking platform and cut the revenue share with the creators. Without adblock, I can't watch a 5 minute video without 5 minutes of ads. You're trying to force me into paying for your premium service by annoying me to death.

Which I might do if I thought the people whose videos I actually like got a decent share of the revenue. But they don't. Hell, at least one of my favorite YouTubers is regularly demonetized, so they wouldn't see a penny.

So, YouTube, I'll keep blocking ads and use services like Patreon to support my favorite YouTube folks the best I can. And if you won't let me use adblock? Well, I guess I have to find some other way to occupy that hour or so a week I use your service, because I'm sure as shit not using half of it to watch ads that don't benefit the people whose videos I enjoy.

ETA: this post contains hyperbole (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hyperbole ).

As a recovering Abrams driver, this makes me giggle a little.

Kinda feel like this article is more about racism, imperialism, and colonization than it is about capitalism. Capitalism might have motivated the racsim, but if you know not view a group of people as being human, then bad shit is gonna happen regardless of the economic system.

I have to agree. I applaud the idea, but I've been tempted to block the community because of the constant posts.

Traditional with an actual mouse, natural on my track pad. On the track pad, traditional feels super weird.

That's actually the beginning of the Armed Services oath you take when you join the military here.

But yes, kids do still say the Pledge of Allegiance in schools. That's hand on the heart, not raised right hand though. And it also sucks.
